Race S: Extremely high battery use rate
-
@sky-runner similarly here on the vertical https://forum.suunto.com/post/186853

@Tieutieu I really wish this is fixed soon! I don’t experience this issue all time but it comes and goes. I do suspect it is related to the use of the external HR sensor.
By the way, in another 7 hours the battery level has dropped from 66% to 50%.
Also, what nobody mentions is that this reduces the longevity of the battery. The battery has only so many charge-discharge cycles before it starts to lose capacity, perhaps about 300. So this isn’t just an inconvenience.

@sky-runner same problem. After sleep from 100% to 80%. Any fix?
-
@sky-runner Same. I had it charged to 98% this morning. Just completed a 55 minute run, with external HRM and Stryd. Battery is now 91%.

@sky-runner ditto!

24 hours later, 77%. I’m monitoring HR 24/7, but display is off and awakes on raise.

@sky-runner I am having the same problem, battery is draining ridiculously fast. Battery last 2-3 days instead of a 1-2 weeks with my usual activities. Race 2 with 2.50.28.

Tried a factory reset and now it’s even more noticeable…
-
I can just confirm that there is higher battery consumption on my wife’s Race S. It’s a reoccurring problem. In one update it seems to be fixed, then again introduced in next one.
-
48 hours in, and it’s at 50%. I did an 80 minute run yesterday. Today is a rest day for me, so perhaps it won’t drop 20% or more in the next 24 hours.
